Busy day, and sorry for the delay, as well as the inadvertent omission.
Start with 2 cups of cornmeal. After that, add 1 egg and i measure each of your leavening/fat for each additional cup of meal. More than 4-5 cups of meal should really be made in multiple batches. I don't understand why, because I can make a quad+ batch of biscuits or stew or any number of other food items, and it turns out the same, but cornbread be different. My grandmother did the same. She was famous for her chicken & dressing, which used her cornbread as the base. She would make 3 individual batches of cornbread instead of one large, because she said it wouldn't be right. Since it always turned out more than wonderful, I never saw the need to question.
My grandmother taught me how to get cornbread correct over the phone about 1984. She said add buttermilk until it was "right". I asked what that meant. After a moment's thought, she reminded me that I had worked for my great uncle, Oscar, who was a bricklayer. Her exact words were - "About halfway between brick mud and block mud." I knew exactly what she meant, and my cornbread has always been perfect.
I miss her every day, and all day on Sundays.
Lots of unsophisticated yokels ITT.
Key is to master the cornbread based on the use case and have a couple of solid recipes depending on the situation.
For chili, especially really spicy chili (with both fucking meat & beans, btw), cornbread with a small hint of sweet is a nice touch.
For ham & beans, the touch of sweetness just doesn't pair well, so give it to me plain and dry lol. Tear off a hunk of that dry-assed-shit and throw it into the bowl and let it absorb all the ham and bean juice goodness. You can't do that shit with moist cornbread cake.
Its like anything, you seldom find a one-size-fits-all solution (other than 30.06, the lords caliber)...

As you may.
-Fair.
-Enjoy your meat soup (not chili). Its not about need. But can chicken soup be chicken soup with no fucking chicken? Call it whatever you want.
-The Lord can have 2 calibers.
It’s chili con carne, “chili(s) with meat” the recipe is in the name. Also, it’s stew not soup.
A chili thread already exists! Lol
I hope all is arguing isn’t keeping you youngsters from going to work.
Need you all to keep working/paying that Social Security tax so I can go out and buy more old pick up trucks.

Yes, the chili thread where a bunch of bean-hating-commies ran rough-shot over the true patriots that know even George Washington put beans in chili, and the rest is russian bot propoganda.
there is a reason they say "chili with beans", and that's because without beans, it is just chili.
i prefer chili with beans. i only leave out the beans if making chili for a contest.
That would mean chili doesn’t normally have beans if you have to tell me they are included…
In Texas the use of the word "Chili" can get complicated.
Between authentic Mexican food, TexMex, and the stuff served north of the Red River.
Wife and I call it Yankee chili if there's beans and make it that way often. It started about the time my teenage sons would drain the refrigerator while asking what's for supper.
I'll go so far as to say chilli served over rice is a good meal.
So the Fat Stock Show is in town and of course the weather is allways wonky then.
Today will be about 85 f not chili and not "chili weather" to some.
Tomorrow it will be in the 40's chili eating weather?
Got to dig through the pantry for fixins.

i think in most places that are not texas, when people say chili they mean w/beans. at least that's how we grew up.
we never said "chili with beans" or asked if we should or shouldn't put beans in it. it always had beans.
Think I will make some cornbread con rotell to go with my chile con carne sans freholies.
Now my head hurts and stomach is grumbling.

Probably cuz there's like four different languages in that first sentence and at least one of them doesn't exist.
Please tell me that you and everyone else on this site does NOT eat that crap.
BTW , southerners don't put sugar in their cornbread because they put all their sugar in the iced tea.
So which is the proper cornbread for putting butter on with dinner? The substitute for a dinner roll.
Oh...my...god...you're right! A Tesla has appeared in my driveway and is now auto-piloting me to a gay strip club!!That's nearly the same amount of sugar as four Twinkies .... Twinkie
I knew I shouldn't have put that sugar in my cornbread!! Damn you @akmike47

Frito pie doesn’t hit right with good chili. Gotta use the can stuff and shit your brains out like a real poor.
Wolf no beans

He definitely has nasal fiestas if you know what I mean
The first and only time I’ve tried some canned chili garbage was from a roommate a long time ago. He was from Cincinnati and I guess the best food that shithole country has is Skyline Chili. He hyped it up so much and finally had some bootlegged into Colorado from a friend. I think I saw his ego shrink a few sizes when all I said was “yeah, that’s ok” after a few bites
I’ve made/eaten chili just about as many ways as there are to have it, beans included(shut your holes, I don’t wanna hear it) and as long as it’s homemade it’s usually awesome
